Hello
I have been suffering from bad taste and persistent bad breath in my mouth from the last 4 months. My gums are swollen from back of the teeth and sometimes it pains. Should I get that flap removed?

HI
Your history seems you may have wisdom teeth over that GUM SWELLING can be happend....
Bad breathe and bad smell and gum swelling is due to some more causes
If the gum swelling is localized at the back of your teeth,then its is due to WISDOM TEETH
If the gum swelling is generalized it may be due to deposits(Plaque and calculus) in your teeth....
Bad breathe is due to deposits(plaque and calculus) or due to wisdom teeth problem which causes gum swelling and food lodgement
If the problem is due to wisdom teeth you need to go for SURGICAL REMOVAL of wisdom teeth..
If the problem is due to deposits(plaque and calculus) you need to go for scaling(cleaning) and polishing
WISDOM TEETH is one that fails to erupt inits position in the given period of time
CONSEQUENCES OF WISDOM TEETH:
**Pericoronitis(Gum swelling)
**Bleeding gums
**Bad breathe and bad taste
**Trismus(Difficulty in opening the mouth)
**Jaw soreness
**cyst formtion
Next Steps
kindly visit dentist for furthur clinical examination and management

3.according to opg and clinical findings ur dentist will decide which gum surgery is better for you.
4.while brushing try to clean ur tounge as well.
5.use non alcoholic mouthwash.
